NEW CARLISLE

NFw CARLISLE. Feb. 2S-This is the
eighth week of revival work in the NJ, f.
church, and still the good work goes on.
with no evidence Of the interest tagging.
Up 10 this date eighty-five have found
peace in believing. while scores of Others
are inquiring the way. The subject Of re-
ligion is being more generally diScuSSeA by
our citizens then We have ever known il in
the history of our town. Go where we
will the meetings are the subject of conyer-
SaiiOn. Even the attendants To the saloons
are neglecting their pool tables and are
talking theology. And AT all the places of
resort for loaiing and idle talk, the con> er-
sion of sinners is the theme. How long is
il TO last. and where will the work stop :?
Professor Kelly has asked that the schools
be- closed. a. the revival mas inierfered with
school work at the present time. The
Strangest thing to us. that We have
discovered in InlS great work of grace, -
the sympathy that seems to pervadr
all classes ot our citizens, for
the work that Is being done.
II is not known when the work will stop
but il is to be hoped that il NAV continue
The Rev. j. W. Gaddis and his eStimi-
BILE wife are bravely persiSting III their good
work . . The oil and gas craze still con-
tinues here. and next to religion il is the
subject of discussion. The oil field that
your citizens of Springfield propose TO
WORK. lies only five miles north oi our town
and the surface indications are much better
here than there. If oil or gas In paying
quantities are found there we are
certain OF it here in much greater Quanti-
ties. and We will patiently wait further
Developments in that direction, or We may
become a part of the Pike township cOmpa-
ny. At least the early spring will witness
something practical in the way of develop
ing the surface indication found in this yicin-
ivy. Your report of the social scandal
Mere was somewhat exaggerated. The par
ties have returned 10 their respective homes
and are preserving the even tenor of their
ways. with one exception. In justice to
an innocent party we here state that the
son of our most respected fellow-clilLem,
Isaac Funderberg, was not the party spoken
of in your report of the affair." The citizens
of the Gem village are made of about the
some material that the rest of mankind is
and are subject to like passions and tempt
ations. We think that if we are no bet
tel than our neighbors of the city, we are
certainly no worse. Political matters are
becoming interesting and as the time for the
spring election approaches. the qualiica-
tons of the various candidates for office.
are being discussed with freedom that in
dicates an independence on the part of the
citizen that is truly commendabie. and is an
assurance that we are TO have live, active
men for office the coming wear.
The republicans of Bethel township feel
that they certainly have some rights that
should be respected by our next county con-
vention. They have always been true TO
the party, and have ever been modest in
their demands of the parry. We have gen.
orally conducted our own campaigns and
paid the expenses of the same, and always
gave large republican majorites. The
truth Is. our boys always stayed by their
work, and aS we propose to place the name
OF one of our soldier boys before the con-
yention. who has ever been one of our most
efficient workers, As well as being fully
capable TO intelligently and honestly
discharge the duties Of the Office
he seeks. We feel that our fellow republi-
cans of our county should respect our de
mand. With the name of one of our fellow
citizens on the ticket. the handsome ma
jority We never fail to give. can be greatly
increased. which is an item that should not
be overlooked in the makeup of the ticket
The last week We buried two of our old
pioneer citizens in the persons of Daniel
Shadoe and Uncle Mike Kaufman. Miss
Starr gave a reading at Town hall Saturday
evening. to large audience. She is a lady
of rare attainments and her powers
of elocution are exceptional "
Miss Ida Tenny. of Troy. is visiting
friends and attending meetings here. She
has host of friends at this place. Mr.
Findley Stafford, an old and respected citi-
zen, living north of town, has been confined
TO his room for some time and is still
thought to be in a critical condition. . The
golden wedding of Mr.. Garrett Perrine and
wife took place at the old homestead on
Tuesday, the ed. A large number of
friends were present. There are promises
of number of dwellings to be erected in
the spring. So our town still continues to
grow. We will be city by and by.
The farmers of this vicinity are preparing
for the spring work. The legal fraternity
of your city have found pearls in the Mud
run ditch at Stringtown. but the land own
erS along the same have found nothing but
curses loud and deep. Tell Rambler
that his prediction is already fulfilled
Pearls of the most costly character are
daily being picked up and transported 10
Ask o. L. Martin and Brother
Bowman of the quality of the pearls they
lind in the creek at S;ringtOwn.
